Yummy soup with a lovely aroma. I used green pepper instead of celery (personal preference) and multigrain pasta. Thank you for a tasty soup recipe!

ButterflyVioletta -- This is an amazing soup! I made this for my daughter when she was under the weather...she then made a miraculous recovery...and it is now her Number 1 favorite soup! I served it with toasted asiago cheese bread, sprinkled with garlic salt to sop up the awesome broth. Thanks for sharing! JustJan
